NT 65A2 is provided with the contact actuation mechanism only). The grip tape wound around the handle of the body was changed to the grip rubber that is common to the Model NR 83A2. The new Model NT 65A3 has the same construction as the current Model NT 65A2 including the well-reputed tool-less clogged nail release mechanism, driving force, response and balance.
Grease (ATTOLUB No. 2) (500 g (1.1 lbs.)) (Code No. 317918) Grease (MULTEMP PS No. 2) (30 g (0.07 lbs.)) (Code No. 939301) 5-2. Nail Selection The Model NT 65A3 utilizes small-head, T-shaped nails (finish nails) collated by adhesive. Applicable nails are shown below. CAUTION: Ensure that nails are as specified in Fig.
5-3. Explanation of the Nailing Operation To meet the requirements of "ANSI SNT-101-2002", the Model NT 65A3 is equipped with a nailing operation switching device at the valve portion as shown in the figures below. Use SINGLE ACTUATION MECHANISM (SINGLE SEQUENTIAL ACTUATION MECHANISM) or CONTACT ACTUATION MECHANISM in accordance with the work to be performed.
For example, when driving a 65 mm (2-1/2") nail into a hard wood workpiece with the Model NT 65A3, a pressure of about 5.5 kgf/cm (78 psi, 5.4 bar) allows the nailer to drive the nail flush with the surface.
Full sequential actuation mechanism kit (sequential trip mechanism kit) (Code No. 884178) is provided as an optional accessory for the Model NT 65A3. When using this optional accessory, a nail is driven when pressing the pushing lever first against a workpiece and then pulling the trigger, and no nail is driven when pulling the trigger first and then pressing the pushing lever against a workpiece (single-shot operation).
7. PRECAUTIONS IN SALES PROMOTION In the interest of promoting the safest and most efficient use of the Model NT 65A3 Nailer by all of our customers, it is very important that at the time of sale, the salesperson carefully ensures that the buyer seriously recognizes the importance of the contents of the Handling Instructions, and fully understands the meaning of the precautions listed on the Warning Label attached to each tool.
7-3. Related Laws and Regulations As nailers or staplers are designed to instantaneously drive nails or staples, there is an ever-present danger of misfiring and subsequent possible serious injury. Accordingly, close attention in handling is absolutely necessary at all times. Carefully ensure that the customer is fully aware of the precautions listed in the Handling Instructions provided with each unit.
The basic construction of the Model NT 65A3 is the same as that of the Model NT 65A2. The magazine section is common to that of the Model NT 65A2. However, most of the parts of the control valve section were changed to provide the single actuation (single sequential actuation)/contact actuation mechanisms in order to correspond to the modification of the ANSI standard.

Compressed air is applied Although air pressure is applied to both the to the upper side of the upper and lower sides of the cylinder, the Exhaust Valve < 2 >, forcing cylinder is forced downward due to the larger it downward and closing Cylinder ring effective area of the upper side.
Page 19
Air pressure is applied in the shaded areas in the illustration, and each component is held in the position illustrated. If the operator's grip is loosened, air will leak. At there is no o-ring installed here, a very small amount of air will leak from the slight clearance between the components.
Page 20
The air pressure on the upper surface of the Exhaust Valve < 2 > is released, and the exhaust valve is pushed upward by the air pressure within the cylinder. This opens the Exhaust Vent < 3 >, and the air pressure in the cylinder is discharged from the nailer.
Page 21
When the switching device is set to the single actuation mode, the compressed air cannot be released from the upper portion of the piston and the air passage until the trigger is released because the valve exhaust vent II is blocking even if only the pushing lever returns.
Page 22
Valve Exhaust Vent II When the switching device is set to the contact actuation mode, the compressed air in the upper portion of the piston and the air passage is released from the valve exhaust vent II if the pushing lever returns. Therefore, the piston returns to the original position and the next nail can be driven.
